timing

Timing is a key element in life.  It was amazing to see how important timing was as I read the Biblical book of Esther.  It made me more aware of how interwoven my life is with others like in a jig-saw puzzle. Through out the book it was crystal clear how GOD works behind the scenes setting the stage for the next act and synchronizing each step of the way.  HIS getting everything into place is why we have delays, things must wait the appointed time. 

An often repeated Bible promise began a prophetic word sent to me.  ( I Thessalonians 5: 20,21 tells us not to despise prophesy but to test it and see if it jells with what the Bible says)  Know that I am with you and I will ever leave you or forsake you.  Hebrews 13:5 You will fulfill all the number of your days and your assignment.  Do not shoot the messenger, as Rhema (GOD's word for your situation) will be important to guide you through the challenges ahead. 

That short word is a reminder that GOD has things I am to do and that I will be facing challenges along the way and it gives assurance that HE is with me and will see to it that I will fulfill my assignments.  That word is general enough to include you and yet specific enough to encourage me.

Let's remember as we enter a new year full of potential, that GOD has individual plans for you and for me and for each and every believer.  Jeremiah 29:11 Those plans are interwoven so it is important we go with the nudges (do what we know we should to) Nothing just happens.  GOD prepares and synchronizes the way ahead. Ephesians 2:10 The LORD ALMIGHTY has called you to specific work and given you specific assignments and areas of authority just as HE has for me. 2 Corinthians 10:12- 14.  Sometimes HE chooses to expand our territory, puts us on furlough or transfers us but knowing that it is GOD alone who determines the exact times and places Acts 17:26,26 and that even the hard things that happen are always done for a good reason... Ezekiel 14:23 and that every seeming delay is necessary with  nothing happenstance coming our way helps me endure the hard things.  I hope it helps you as well.  And the best part is the Creator of the Universes guarantees the result!
